The cheapest option in November will probably be: flight to either Geneva or Zurich airport, train transfer to Zermatt using a Swiss Transfer Ticket (must be bought outside Switzerland) http://www.swisstravelsystem.co.uk/ for cheap accommodation look on the Zermatt website http://www.zermatt.ch/en/index.cfm under Your stay / Accommodation / Private rooms & Group accommodation.

Hi Jonah,
I presume you are booked on the course through Disability Snowsport. The question to ask, is there some organised accomodation? It has got to be helpful to be close to the group for the Talk and Chalk, and for morning/evening meet-ups.

Thanks Guys never used the train so that will be a new experience. Ill also check out the website. I did have a quick look but what i saw was really expensive. Basi run the course Dave but no they never get involved in accomadation which is crazy seeing the amount of courses running over the two weeks they could easily get some good group discounts arranged.

Staying in Zermatt:

The Hotel Weisshorn is great value and has most excellent breakfasts. Friendly place to stay, very central.

Close to KM lift.

The Antika has some studios, which would be a cheaper option to Hotels.
